An experimental investigation of slat-screens to mitigate fluid sloshing in microgravity

The new age of space exploration has brought forth growing implications of space debris connected to satellites, and as such on-orbit satellite refuelling is an area of active research. To refuel a satellite on-orbit, a servicing satellite transfers propellant to the empty fuel tank of the satellite being serviced. A significant impediment to such a practice is the development of fluid sloshing motion during this process. This paper presents a …
